Location: Stevens Point, WI | I'm not saying you can't get any of the Brunswick boats without Mercs but what I am saying is that initially, that was how it was going to be, Brunswick boats with a Brunswick owned motor which is Mercury. They may have changed that idea but I have not heard of anything. I do know however, there are a couple guys on the Professional Walleye Trail switching from a Brunswick boat to another boat because they wouldn't put a Evinrude or another brand of motor on it. Scott Fairbairn and Rick Olson I believe are two guys having to do so. They are both sponsored by Evinrude and I had heard that Mr. Fairbairn would be running a Ranger if I heard correctly. But all I was inferring to was that Brunswick was pushing for Mercs to be put on any Brunswick boat.
Side note: Not trying to stir anything here, this was all first hand info. Another thing, any of you notice that in the new 2007 Lund boat brochure, ALL boats have a Mercury on the back of them? Just thought I would throw that observation out there. However I do not know about the Crestliner brochure. But again, things may have changed to allow other motor brands to be put on Brunswick boats.
